Why the CTA Brown Line has been delayed

Some riders experienced lengthy delays Wednesday morning because a defective door stalled a train near the Chicago Brown Line stop, the Tribune reported. On Tuesday, a stalled train was delayed at the Addison Brown Line stop.

Southbound Red Line trains have been operating on what is normally the northbound Red Line tracks, while northbound Red Line trains have been running on a separate track and are unable to stop at Addison.
